speckleyboo Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Quite new to crocheting but thought it'd make a nice gift for mum if i made something for her. She liked the octopus i made but i thought id make her a lion as shes a leo this was my octopus: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/speckleyboo/DSC00538.jpg and this is her lion: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/speckleyboo/DSC00559.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/speckleyboo/DSC00557.jpg I was quite impressed with how it turned out, apart from maybe the letters, looks like a 6year olds attempted im my opinion and im nearly 20 =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh I love them both! Did you use the Amigurumi method of making them? Crochet in the round (spiral). I'm busy doing crochet at the moment for Amigurumi, but I got stuck on decreasing. I'll have to study my book again. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckleyboo Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yes i did, though sewing all the lion pieces together im sure took longer than the crocheting Decreasing is actually quite easy though confusing at first This lady: http://www.youtube.com/user/tjw1963 has both left and right handed tutorials and they are wonderful. I couldnt learn anything from books, made it far too complex and being left handed made it awkward, learnt in a day(well, actually it was a night but a whole night) watching these =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
